Update:

Starting Spring 2009 I am a visiting student at Cornell University following my advisor's new appointment.

(Informal) Biography

I am a 3rd year PhD student in the ECE department at Carnegie Mellon University. I'm supervised by Tsuhan Chen and am a member of his Advanced Multimedia Processing Lab. I also collaborate with Jiebo Luo (Kodak Research Lab) and Rahul Sukthankar (Intel Research Pittsburgh), who were my mentors during internship in summer 2008 and 2007.

In Fall 2008 I was the teaching assistant for 10-708 Probabilistic Graphical Models, taught by Carlos Guestrin.

I recieved my master's degree from CMU in 2006, during which I worked with Martial Hebert from the Robotics Institute. In summer 2006, I interned at Intel Research Pittsburgh, working with Bart Nabbe. In my first semester at Carnegie Mellon, I also worked with Marios Savvides.

Before joining CMU, I earned a B.Tech from the Institute of Technology, Benaras Hindu University. As an undergrad, I spent a summer working with Santanu Chaudhury, in the Multimedia Lab, Electrical Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.

Personal Notes:

Kodak Momemt?

With professional photographers and "colour technicians" on their payroll, Kodak ensures that all employees get that perfect picture (like the one above). Thank you Kodak!

They say that imitation is the best form of flattery. I'm hoping Andrew Stein agrees. Candid admission: a large number of design choices for this website were, ahem, inspired by his webpage.
